Assumption Convent School invites talented sportswomen, preferably all-rounders, to apply for a limited number of Sport Scholarships for grade 8 2026. Scholarships are awarded on the condition that the recipient will at all times honour the Vision, Mission Statement and Values of the School.
The winner of the scholarship must undertake to represent our School for the duration of her time at ACS unless injured. Successful candidates are awarded a discount on fees.
